How do you respond when you overcome hardship and achieve success? The proud man says, “Look what I have done by my own strength.” The humble man says, “Look what God has enabled me to do in my utter weakness.” In this message, Wesley Strackbein discusses how we must dispel with the prideful notion that we can “pull up ourselves by our bootstraps” and walk humbly instead, “for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:4-7).

How do you respond when you overcome hardship and achieve success? The proud man says, “Look what I have done by my strength and wisdom.” The humble man says, “Look what God by His unmerited grace has enabled me to do in my utter weakness.” Sadly, after Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas coast last year, real arrogance surfaced as billboards and T-shirts featuring these and other similar slogans began to appear: “Texas Strong — Come Hell or High Water”; “Texas Strong — Harvey Can’t Mess with Texas”; “Texas Strong, Y’all.” In this message, Wesley Strackbein will discuss how we must dispel with the prideful notion that we can “pull up ourselves by our bootstraps” and walk humbly instead, “for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble” (1 Peter 5:4-7).
